Massacred Family

July 10, 1986

GUATEMALA CITY — Eliminating competition. That was the motive for the massacre of a family of 10, says Leonel Anibal Salguero, the governor of Jutiapa province. Three men are in custody and three are being sought. Salguero said they are members of a gang of robbers that operates along the Pan American Highway between Guatemala City and the border with El Salvador. Four of the Garcia Corleto family's members were part of a rival gang that was providing too much competition, the governor said.
